two layouts to share, one double and one triple!

Last weekend we held the third sketch class at Scrapbook Corner and this is my version of the sketch...

this layout could accommodate up to 11 photos but I have swapped some of the square spots out with patterned paper and journalling and the two 6x4 verticals on the right side I have used one enlargement instead.

this is actually three layouts (6x12, 12x12, 6x12) about my Great Grandparents. I was lucky enough to be loaned the photos, newspaper clipping and the wedding certificate by my Uncle James for copying for my layout.
I am now on six weeks holiday (school break) and hope to have many more layouts to share during that time. Meanwhile Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families.

Sketch classes at Scrapbook Corner

I have been helping out with sketch classes at Scrapbook Corner and we are having a blast.

One of the best comments I overheard was "we can choose our own papers" so yes that is the beauty of a sketch, you can make it your own by changing things up a bit and definitely by using your favourite papers and embellishments, unlike a kit class.


Using the Simple Stories Awesome range, such an awesome grungey range for boys (excuse the pun) plus my favourite Kraft cardstock (background) and some Swiss Dot strips.


Using the Kaisercraft Summer Breeze collection and a variety of cardstock scraps and embellishments.
based on the same sketch as the layout above, this one using the Kaisercraft Garage Days collection with less 'banners', I carefully chose 'banners' from one of the patterned papers so the 'Dad' words couldn't be seen. 
 Keep an eye out on the Scrapbook Corner Facebook page and their newsletters for upcoming sketch classes. The next class is on 14th December at 1pm.
